West Ham Online

Impressive start by Sp*rs at Citeh. Two good sides going at it.

Does feel a bit like ‘here’s what you could’ve won’ with Kudus. Looks a completely different player.

The most depressing thing about this weekends fixtures is that only 1 team have looked proper shit Even Leeds who got a spanking put up a fight for the most part.

Bruno Fernandez! Bwahahahaha

Clamping down on penalty box holding … Pen to Big Six Team (17th place)
Bruno Fernandes pen lands at Stamford Bridge

Fulham fans singing
Bruno Fernandes, he looks like a rat  

Fair call

 Eve v Bri two terrible teams and awful football , yet both better than us .... Like the new stadium but it does look like Scaffolding left up all over it , very odd .
 

That was a woeful penalty from Welbeck.

I think Brighton will struggle this year, not a West Ham struggle but a struggle nonetheless.

Brighton will win it in the end.

I was going to say Everton were lucky to be 0-0 but they just scored.
assist from grealish.

After four consecutive wins from the start of this season Hornchurch FC sit atop National league South.

Agree with you both.  It's bizarre that managers I assume constantly want to play like this.  It costs goals, just get rid of the thing.  Would loved to have seen some of the keepers of the past try this.  Big Phil Parkes wouldn't like it for sure, where as Bruce Grobbelaar would have probably loved it!

I notice that Will Still has restored Downes to Soton’s midfield. This match also had two other erstwhile hammers, where Cresswell seems to be Mark Robbins’ regular left back choice for Stoke and Mubama, who got a second yellow ( simulation in the penalty box ) has already a couple of league goals to his name.

The Man City goal where he passes to someone facing him on the edge of the area with two defenders on him was laughable 
If the other team commits 2 or 3 players on the edge of the area you launch it

Just saw highlights on LiveScore
DeBruyne’s goal was a wide free kick that went straight in
Napoli’s other goal … McTominay of course
 

Serie A kicked off yesterday, KDB scored for Napoli and Milan lost at home to Cremonese (remember them?)

Juve v Parma
Como v Lazio
Atalanta v Pisa all today

Watched Man City yesterday & unless Rodri comes back as the player he was I think they are still vulnerable
Arsenal have done well to strengthen with Zubimendi , Eze & Gyokeres & even Norgaard as a solid back up & it COULD be where they step up from 3 second place finishes.
Very strong defensively which would be my concern for Liverpool
If Liverpool get Isak & Guehi next week obviously that makes a big difference 

Until you’ve seen half a dozen games it’s hard to judge who is going down
Apart from us … 2 games is enough to say unless we have an exceptional last 8 days or so it’s West Ham & 2 others 

They will still bottle it when it counts and win fuck all again.

15 year old makes Arsenal debut.

Looking forward to get Declan back when he's 36.
